I mean there are 5 games in that bundle. Will gamespot review it as a whole, or will they dissect their review into 5 separate reviews rating Portal, Team Fortress 2, HL2, HL2: Episode 1, HL2: episode 2 individually?

Will Pc version get the same review treatment even though HL2 and HL2: Episode 1 was already reviewd before?

I'm really confused. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

idealy...the orange box will be rated as a whole...and then the PC version of each part will be rated individually (since they can be bought seperatly on the PC)

however....its almost certainly the first part only.

Probably as a whole, and get a solid 9.0.

orange box for the consoles will get AAA, for the PC they'll do it individually, or only rate episode 2

Since it all comes in one package, I assume they'll reveiw it all at once.

And considering that the Orange Box is one of the most ridiculously incredible bargains in video gaming history, I can also assume that it will get at least an 8.5

I'm thinking more of 9.0 - 9.5, providing its a really nice port job to consoles with few/no glitches and a smooth framerate.

Damn, this is going to be awesome.:shock:

It could be hard to include the original and episode 1 in the PC review (not saying the game is not a GREAT value). I think it should be reviewed based on the new games and would be accpetable to include a SMALL bump up for the added value of the older two

They will probably condense Portal and Team fortress into 250 points each since they aren't really FULL games. And then they will make the two episodes 250 points each as well. And make the biggest part of the deal (HL2) into 1000 points. With a total score of 2000.

That seems probable...right?

I think it has a chance though of breaking top 10 at gamerankings.com

We havn't had any word on that. I'm thinking it will be on 2 disks. 1 disk will have Half Life series. The other will have Portal and Team Fortress 2.
